BDry Disposable Seat Guard with Flex Stretch

ABSTRACT

A flexible disposable seat guard is created with an absorbent porous top layer and a watertight bottom layer uniquely designed to conform to the lower back and seat portion of various infant/child seats. The seat guard has flexible sides and corners allowing the stretchable material to conform to the angle of a safety harness and/or safety belt. The seat guard has compressed perforations on the lower back portion to adhere and conform to various infant seats. Compressed perforations are located on the bottom seat portion to allow for complete access to the harness latch.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This invention is associated universally with infant/child seats. Distinctively, this invention can uniquely be utilized in various infant/child seats, including but not limited to infant carriers, infant swings, infant bouncy seat, indoor baby swing/glider, infant/child strollers and infant/child safety seats. Specifically, the seat guard utilizes an absorbent porous top layer and a watertight bottom layer uniquely designed to conform to the lower back and seat portion.

This invention allows for the child to remain dry with the flexible porous material while being secure in the seat; it protects the original material of the seat from being soiled; and is easily replaced with a new disposable seat guard.

The placement of flexible stretch sides and corners and perforated segments at various positions allows for the ability for this seat guard to conform to various models of infant/child seats including but not limited to infant carriers, infant swings, infant bouncy seat, indoor baby swing/glider, infant/child strollers and infant/child safety seats. The flexible stretch sides and corners allow for a tight fit as well as an extra protection in preventing diaper leaks and spills from reaching the lower back and seat. As required by law, child car safety seats are utilized as a mandatory safety restraint for infants, toddlers and any child who qualifies for mandatory child safety seat utilization. With the harness attachments, it is not possible to remove the cover to a car seat, clean it, allow it to dry and replace the child if their diaper should leak or a spill happen without completely removing the car seat from the motor vehicle. This invention allows for the protection of the child keeping him/her dry while maintaining the durability of the original material and allowing the child to be placed back in the clean safety seat immediately by removing the disposable seat guard.

This flexible disposable seat guard is installed by simply placing the seat guard in the bottom of the infant/child seat, flattening the material to conform to the shape of the seat and adhering the seat guard to the material via adhesive strips along the lower back portion and the front portion of each side flap and bottom front. If necessary, the center perforation may be utilized for accessing the harness latch. Two sturdy perforations are located on the lower back portion to allow for infant harness belts.

The material utilized for this durable flexible disposable seat guard would be comprised of a sturdy yet porous material consisting of a top absorbent layer and a bottom watertight layer. Distinctively, this material will also include flexible stretch sides and corners to conform to the seat harness. The underside seat guard will contain adhesive strips.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This invention is a durable flexible disposable seat guard designed to preclude a child from sitting in wet infant/child seats including but not limited to, infant carriers, infant swings, infant bouncy seat, indoor baby swing/glider, infant/child strollers and infant child safety seats. Further, it prolongs the life of the seats in general and eliminates the necessity to remove and wash the covers on the individual seats. The seat guard will include durable flexible stretch sides for ease of conforming to a seat harness for various types of child seats.
